In this attack, the commander of the 146th Division, He Rukai, personally led the charge.
Just before the artillery brigade carried out artillery preparations, He Rukai led the 3rd regiment of the 146th Division into the attack position, only a stone's throw away from the artillery brigade's calibrated shooting points.
At this distance, our own artillery shells may fall on our own heads at any time.
But He Rukai no longer cares about so much, because the failure of the previous two attacks made him feel shameless. If he still can't break through the Japanese defense line this time, not only will He Rukai's face be lost, but also that of the 146th Division. There was nowhere to save face, not even the 22nd Army's face.
So this time, He Rukai also went all out and fought hard!
About five minutes after the artillery brigade¡¯s artillery bombardment began, the tanks of the armored brigade entered the sortie position.
Seeing the tanks entering the attack position one after another, He Rukai's heart dropped back to his stomach.
With the coordinated operation of tanks this time, there should be no problem and we should be able to break through the Japanese defense line.
The artillery brigade's artillery preparations lasted for about twenty minutes, and then began to carry out extended shooting at the Japanese's deep positions.
As soon as the artillery brigade's firepower began to extend, He Rukai jumped up from the trench, raised the Browning pistol in his hand and fired a shot into the night sky above his head, and then shouted: "Brothers, charge with me and kill!" "
"Kill! Kill!" More than a thousand officers and soldiers of the 3rd Regiment of the 146th Division jumped up and rushed forward with their Enfield rifles with bayonets fixed.
Almost at the same time, more than thirty Vickers light tanks from a tank battalion of the 1st Armored Brigade also began to advance forward.
The tracks were rolling, smoke and dust were rolling, and bombs exploded in front of them from time to time, emitting a dazzling red light that illuminated the advancing National Army tanks and infantry.
Suddenly, a dense rain of bullets violently poured out from the front.
The dazzling bullet trajectories were like the flaming whip of death under the night, whipping towards the advancing National Army tanks and National Army infantry.
"Dang Dang Dang!"
The front of the tank has more than 15mm thick armor and is unscathed.
But the infantrymen who lacked protection were shot and fell into a pool of blood.
He Rukai was originally walking on the right side of the tank, but he saw the opportunity quickly and ducked behind the tank, so he was lucky enough to escape.
¡°Tracer bullets!¡± The next moment, He Rukai shouted loudly, ¡°Tracer bullets!¡±
Due to the noise of the tank engine, the tank soldiers in the carriage could not hear Bu Zhen's loud shouts outside, so they could only use red flags for guidance.
If you can¡¯t see the signal red flag at night, use tracer bullets to indicate the direction.
Hearing He Rukai¡¯s order, the dozen or so infantrymen who followed up changed tracer bullets one after another.
"Eleven o'clock direction! Eleven o'clock direction!" After the infantrymen had changed their tracer bullets, He Rukai shouted again, "Shoot!"
A dozen infantrymen opened fire at the same time, and the dazzling tracer bullets instantly cut through the dark night sky, indicating the shooting direction to the tank soldiers in the tank.
After receiving instructions from the infantry, the cooperating tanks immediately turned their turrets and locked the Japs heavy machine gun position at the eleven o'clock direction. Then, with a bang, a 47mm caliber bullet roared out, and then the next one. Suddenly, the Japanese heavy machine gun position dozens of meters ahead turned into a ball of red light.
There are two main gun calibers for the Vickers light tanks left by the British and Burmese troops. The early models had a 37mm caliber. The later models had a main gun caliber of 47mm, which was larger in caliber and more lethal.
With just one shot, the Japs' heavy machine gun position was already blown into the sky.
"Go forward, go forward!" He Rukai patted the wall of the tank and signaled the tank to continue advancing forward.
The Vickers light tank numbered "012" started again, its tracks rolling forward.
"Follow up, follow up!" He Rukai turned around and waved his hand, followed by a dozen infantrymen.
After advancing about twenty meters, they came to a trench. The trench, which was about two meters wide, failed to block the advance of the Vickers tank and continued to advance.
But at this moment, a Japanese soldier suddenly jumped out of a foxhole nearby.
By the red light emitted by the bomb in the distance, He Rukai saw the Japanese holding a bundle of explosives in his arms.
"Kill him, don't let him get close!" He Rukai raised his hand and fired, but the pistol's hit rate was not high, and it was night time, so he failed to hit.
But how?The sound of gunfire is an order.
In an instant, a dozen infantrymen who followed up raised their guns and opened fire at the same time.
Intense firepower was poured out towards the Japanese soldiers in an instant.
The Japanese man took six or seven steps forward, and when he was still about three meters away from the No. 012 tank, he was finally hit by several bullets and fell into a pool of blood.
Immediately afterwards, the explosive bag in his arms exploded.
The five-kilogram explosive pack exploded violently, instantly tearing the Japanese soldier's body into pieces of flesh and blood.
The air wave generated by the explosion swept through violently, knocking He Rukai, who was dozens of meters away, to the ground. Even the No. 012 tank was pushed sideways by the air wave for nearly half a meter. .
However, the Japanese suicide attack failed in the end.
"Forward! Forward!" He Rukai reached out and patted the wall on the side of the cockpit of the No. 012 tank twice.
Tank No. 012 moved forward again. At this time, a flare suddenly rose into the air, and dazzling white light poured down, instantly illuminating the entire battlefield as bright as day.
With this dazzling light, the forward-firing machine gun of the No. 012 tank also began to fire violently.
In an instant, a dazzling tongue of flames sprayed towards the Japanese defensive position in front.
The Japanese infantrymen who had just jumped out of the trenches or foxholes, preparing to launch a desperate charge, immediately fell down piece by piece like cut wheat.
"Bang!" At this moment, Tank No. 012 suddenly fell headlong into a big pit.
When He Rukai hurriedly came forward to take a look, he saw that the No. 012 tank had fallen into an anti-tank trench. Although the tank driver opened the accelerator to the maximum, he could not climb out of the anti-tank trench no matter how hard the tracks rolled.
"Shovel the anti-tank trench for me!" He Rukai roared and took out an engineer shovel from his back.
A dozen infantrymen took off the engineer shovels prepared in advance, followed He Rukai and jumped into the anti-tank trench, struggling to dig the front edge of the anti-tank trench under the tank tracks.
Under the shovels exerted by He Rukai and a dozen engineers, the front edge of the anti-tank trench was quickly dug into a diagonal breach.
The driver of Tank No. 012 stepped on the accelerator to the bottom again, and the tracks creaked and rolled forward again. Then the heavy tank body climbed out of the trench and rushed forward again.
"Forward! Forward!" He Rukai looked up to the sky and roared again. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
